We're thankful to You, Father, for the freedoms that are ours to live in this country and along with those freedoms, we realize, comes great responsibilities. We ask You, Father, to grant Your wisdom to be given to each one of the Members of this House and every decision, Lord. You will grant them the help, the direction, they need in making the right and proper decisions. Help everything that we do Lord to be done bring honor and glory to You, so that when we stand before You, the great judge of all men, we'll need not be ashamed. Thank You, again.
